Chinese Taipei Has a Lot of Fun, Beats Mongolia 18-2

The Chinese Taipei will look for their fourth straight Challenge Cup of Asia title after beating Mongolia 18-2 on Wednesday.

There were no close points at any point of the game, with To Weng scoring the first goal of the game after 1:26 of play. Taipei ended up finishing with eight goals in the first period, an impressive number thanks to four goals from Weng himself, who finished with seven goals and eight points.

Captain Yen-Chin Shen also had a fun night on the ice, scoring one goal and adding six assists in a game that saw 40 points split between 11 players on the Taipei roster.

Both Mongolian goals came from Tserenbaljir Baatarkhuu, one of the stronger players on the roster. Baatarkhuu has scored seven goals in the past few years for Mongolia, a team that typically struggles at the tournament.

Taipei will now battle against the United Arab Emirates in a one game, winner-takes-all scenario for the gold medal. Taipei are the favourites, having blown out their competition all tournament long and having won the past three championships titles. Game is set for 12:00 pm EST on Friday afternoon.

About The Author

Steven took a different route towards his hockey interests. Starting out as a big Habs fan, he started to gravitate towards the more obscure levels of hockey, such as the low level tournaments in Asia, strange club matches between teams most people in North America can’t pronounce, and even some 3am contests between Bulgaria and New Zealand. Aside from his love for strange hockey events, Steven occasionally acts as a mediocre ball hockey goalie following a failed attempt at making it to the NHL as a fourth line house league grinder. Beyond hockey, Steven is an avid racing fan and loves to chat about NASCAR, F1, Indycar, you name it. Oh, and don’t get him started on music. That is, unless you want the whole history of metal and a guitar lesson.
Currently, Steven is a credentialed media member with the Mississauga Steelheads of the OHL, as well as with the Oakville Blades of the OJHL. Steven has also hosted the television show "The Hockey House" on TVCogeco in Ontario, as well as a segment under the same with on LeafsTV in Toronto.
